‘We are JAVANESE’

We were walking together

Down to the misty evening road

At the market

Where people gather

Talking of ‘Wedang Ronde’

While we conjure

The taste of ‘Whisky’

The road was crowded

By people wearing ‘batik’

While we felt lost

In the crowd

For we were wearing

Prada’s Summer Cloth

Don’t you feel embarrassed?

To be seen as stranger

In your own home

Now tell us…

Who is the singer they are talking about?

Nurjanah…

Didi Kempot…

We have no idea!

For we were talking about

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry all the time

What’s now?

Sing to me a song…

Listen …

            Listen…

                        Listen…

                                    Listen …

                                                Listen!

That’s what we are,

Javanese…

Who’s just come back to our mother land

From the land of English

And listen to us now

For we will speak it loudly

We are Javanese…

And we are proud to be Javanese

In English…
